Go with Hostaway, great cost-benefit, and it's integrated with Turno as well!

Hello Kara, I am also from California and about to go into contract on my first OKC property as well and also under 80k.

If the tenant doesn't take care of their issues than you become responsible.  9 out of 10 times you become responsible.I always conducted my own inspections well ahead of any section 8 inspections to get ahead of the game and fix any issues that may arise due to section 8 inspections. 

I've been debating this quite a bit as well. 

definitely . id check with the local municipality as well for further info on the requirements  

I have befriended a real estate agent (who has become a true friend) and her son (who has aspirations to get started in real estate as well) and he has a house that will be vacant and is looking to rent it out.

I'm doing all our projects in Columbus Ohio but just relocated to miami. we do multifamily and mixed use development and entitlements I'll shoot you a PM. even people in miami that I meet the numbers are tough unless you do a high density proposal and are very well capitalized. 

I'm open to other areas as well, but based on what my realtor friends say about where I live now makes we want to get my foot in the door here. 

I’ve got a distressed and on-market house that was recently completely renovated until the couple ran out of money (all of the heavy lifting has been done, just a few things left), and it is listed well below market price compared to surrounding comps I could find.

To me it looks like the market is still stagnant with the exception of the bottom end STRs - and I mean very bottom end STRs.A lot of new building is finally getting completed as well which is also adding homes on the market.
